Robert Lawrence Stine is a famed author, best known for creating the children's horror novel series Goosebumps as well as Fear Street. He is frequently cited by Chris as a major literary influence.[1]
Whereas most children outgrow R.L. Stine novels by age 10, having discovered meatier and more sophisticated fiction in line with their intellectual and emotional development, Chris remained an ardent fan of his work well into high school. Any inferences one may make from this are entirely correct. This could possibly explain some of Chris's flaws in his writing, like Stale Characters and Awful Plots.
Mentions
